This seem to be a problem in IE handling of list, IE8 still has this bug. <http://css-class.com/test/bugs/ie/8/no-pointer-on-hover-with-markup.htm> I first noticed it ironically on Live Search last night while using IE8. :-) <http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=ie+li+hover+bug&src=IE-SearchBox> Hovering over any of the search links will show no pointer. But clicking the links work. In your test case clicking the text does nothing. Here is a work around. http://css-class.com/x/list-items-and-hover.htm The only changes I made was with new CSS. Note the t1.png image which is a transparency on the anchors. IE8 needed the anchors to be move to the bottom of the list. I did this since they were showing a gap at the top when located at the top. I have tested in IE7 toggle mode and appears to works. You may want to add a transparent png hack for IE6. I hope this works for you.
